Kenneth Lay did the same thing after the Enron scandal. Died on vacation before sentencing. On May 25, 2006, Lay was found guilty on six counts of conspiracy and fraud by the jury. In a separate bench trial, Judge Lake ruled that Lay was guilty of four additional counts of fraud and making false statements. Sentencing was scheduled for September 11, 2006 and rescheduled for October 23, 2006. He died on July 5th.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

That's kind of the great divisive point, however, because it's simply what my (and other) family tells, those who were negatively affected by his governing. Other families' situations were improved significantly, and as such they hear of him exactly like that, as a great guy, and because (my, at least) school focused far less on the topic than it should've, it's still rather unclear.

Why I said "scary stories" is because of those people. And, well, isn't calling any political figure the "good guy" an inherently absurd thing? Pinochet was neither a good or bad guy, just a guy who simultaneously improved the economy and made it harder for some people to live here. What I mean with divisive, however, is that even nowadays there's much political discussion about the topic, especially surrounding the Constitution made under his command and what should be changed (as a new Constitution was approved, wether I like that or not) or completely remade, and as such there's much conflict and protesting from both parts which causes plenty of damage - again, be that justified or not, I'm not the one to say.

In an unfortunate series of events, the Chilean nation was put in the situation in which there was only two options to choose, and both of them were nefarious. That date still divides the entire society when it comes to politics and elections. Sadly, the consequences of both paths would end to be ultimately nefarious.

Also, it should also be noted that the Allende’s administration’s legal observance of the Chilean 1925 constitution is a controversial topic. In spite of that, there is a general consensus within the legal community that the Fundamental Charter was infringed due to the persistent invocation of Legal Decrees (“Decretos Ley” in our legal jargon, which lack of democratic legitimacy, here referring to Böckenförde ideas about the topic) as a legal base to justify affecting property rights (mainly referred to industrial property), in order to accomplish the transition to a socialist economy. Obviously, this situation enraged private national and American actors (specially those who had rights and interests over the national copper and gold mining industry), reaching the point in which even powerful Chileans such as Agustín Edwards began contacting the White House - I mean, Henry Kissinger - to overthrow Allende. That is an important part of the story not mentioned in this video, although the thoroughness of the investigation demonstrated astonishing, they tell historic facts that I didn’t even know about

2:38 last time we had an aspiring artist turned soldier turned head of state, it did not go well...

On 22nd August 1973, Pinochet didn’t become chief of staff of the armed forces. He became COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY. The armed forces didn’t (and it still doesn’t) have a joint command structure, the Chief of Staff as the top commanding officer does not exist, there is a joint coordinating organization but there is no chief of staff of the armed forces, just Commander in Chiefs. One more thing, Pinochet joined the Coup last. The most adamant was the Navy commander in Chief but the chiefs of the armed forces and the military police considered the Navy as non representative enough so they had to convince Pinochet to become the de facto leader and thus securing the loyalty of the army and a more popular support.

Really great achievement, to establish worse system than communism. There was authoritarian regime and oppression before the revolution so it didn't change too much. But if it comes to economy. Most of Cubans were peasants. Under Batista and before peasants had a job just a couple of months in the year on cane plantations. A job for very small money. So they couldn't save anything for later. Many of them didn't own any land to cultivate something on their own and survive. So they lived in extreme poverty and starving pretty often. No money for education or healthcare. Communism offered them very little but still it was much more than before, full employment for a whole year (for low salaries which provides very modest life but enough to fulfill basic needs without starving), access to education (level of illiteracy was really high before and under Castro's regime it was around 0 after a while) and free healthcare (on poor level due to inefficient system and trade embargo on Cuba but still better than no access at all due to the lack of money). This is why people loved Fidel and CIA failed trying to overthrow him.

Chilean here. My 4 grandparents all agreed that Pinochet saved the country, which was at the brink of communism at the time. Obviously, my 4 grandparents lived there and were there while everything went down, so they have a clear internal view of the facts. Same with my dad and mom. Under Allende, people were making kilometric lines to buy sugar, tea, and other basic necessities, only to get there and find nothing left because there wasn't enough of anything. If it wasn't for Pinochet, Chile would have easily ended up a Cuba 2.0. How do I know this?? because under Allende, Fidel Castro smuggled into Chile over 5,000 Cuban and Russian communists, ready for battle, who also smuggled thousands of weapons. They were going to do a communist takeover of the country anyways. I don't know about you, but prefer to have sugar in my tea, while not getting invaded by foreign communists at that. You sitting from the comfort of your home, making videos from your capitalist-based country, which gives you the opportunity to make money through an internet platform, would have never been able to do this under a communist regime. Also, you don't seem to be able to grasp what people in Chile went through during that time period. Chile was falling into a point of no return, and it wasn't gonna be a good one.

Fun Facts: Poverty skyrocketed in Chile after Pinochet came in. The economy collapsed massively TWICE. After that he massively CENTRALIZED the economy to save it. Also Allende had NO plans of taking over the country, that is an old lie from the cold war days we know to be false today.

@@johncarlisle2755 I wrote this up for another purpose, but it focuses on some of the reasons that Allende´s government was a threat to the Chilean people and the situation wasn't black and white. I thought maybe it would help you. 1) Congress, upon electing Allende president, did so on the condition that he sign a formal document declaring that he not bring the country into Socialism & Communism. I’m pretty sure it stated that such acts were grounds for removal from office too. (As Allende didn't achieve an absolute majority, the decision of who would be president fell to congress) 2) Allende was overstepping his authority to forcibly bringing Chile into a fully socialist and communist nation. 3) Left wing extremists were assassinating their political opposition throughout the time that Allende was in Power. 4) Congress and the courts declared that Allende was overstepping and requested that the military remove him from office. Meaning that in this case, the coup was legal and constitutional. (For example, would you say that it was illegal if Trump lost in his impeachment process, didn’t step down, and the military was forced to remove him? This is actually a pretty close parallel to what happened in Chile.) 5) When this decision was taken, there were arms being shipped from the Soviet Union and their puppet states in order to arm Allende’s army effectively initiating a civil war. 6) The Chilean economy was collapsing under Allende, there was a food shortage, and malnutrition was a real threat for many. 7) The justification for not having elections after the coup was that democracy had just failed to provide a government which adequately protected the population. This may not be enough to justify the removal of democracy, depending on where you stand. But, for many Chileans (maybe even a majority at the time), it was. 8) After like 18 years, and after a vote, Pinochet peacefully and willingly returned the country to democracy. This is something that I don’t think has ever happened under any other Latin American Dictatorship (even if it may have been overdue after 17ish years - this issue is still hotly debated in Chile). 9) While it is undeniable that Pinochet was brutal in his treatment of his political opposition, so was his opposition. Many here in Chile believe that Pinochet saved Chile from a worse fate, that being communism. This position is seconded by many who live in other Latin American countries where dictatorships haven’t relinquished power and the consequences of those regimes were much more dire (Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Panama, etc…).

Strange aspirational take on Allende in this. Not one mention of the things his government did, no explanation for why a coup in a country with a long democratic tradition was successful and accepted. Maybe do a bit more on why Allende's government was not popular (same old communist story: land collectivization that was supposed to uplift the peasant classes did exactly the opposite, famine, political executions, etc. You get the idea) And the idea that pinochet was in some way more heinous than other people of his type. His dictatorship was bloody, but resulted in democracy and one of the best economies in Latin America. Which is again portrayed in a negative light. Look, income inequality is an issue, but would you rather everyone be poor and starving and therefore there is no income inequality? Or would you rather there be a wealthy class, a middle class, a lower class, and a poor class? Under Allende they had all the corruption and violence, but none of the food, the prosperity, or stability of Pinochet's dictatorship, which eventually gave way to a stable democratic society with a functioning economy. I love these, but this one seems a bit one sided.

I clicked on your TITO video because it was a subject I knew little about, and enjoyed your laconic delivery style; so the next up in suggested clips was this one on Pinochet. However, I happen to something about this, having lived in Chile during some of this period. In short, although Pinochet was certainly no saint, this is not a balanced effort - poor, in fact - but I just have a few things to add to what "Jon M" (under "M Brad") wrote below: 1. Because the opposition was split and no run-off was prescribed, Allende managed to become president with a plurality of 36.6%, which you cited. However, what you failed to mention is that his share of the popular vote actually declined since the prior election (which he lost because the opposition wasn't split). In other words, less Chileans voted for Allende in the election that he won than the one that he lost. This is hardly a vote of confidence to grant a mandate to change the entire economic system of a society - and yet he plowed ahead anyway. (And interestingly, you say that Pinochet resoundingly lost the plebiscite with "only" 40%, which is still higher than Allende's 36.6%!) But in spite of not having a mandate for drastic change, Allende allowed Fidel Castro, a foreign head of state, to overstay his Visa and tour Chile unchaperoned with his own security detail, commenting on internal Chilean politics all along the way, especially that Chile was "in a Revolution". 2. You said that, "During Allende's years in office things (Chile's Economy) had only gotten worse, although it's debatable whether that's due to his left wing policies or to the CIA constantly trying to instigate a coup." It's the former of course! The CIA spent peanuts in Chile. Allende's nationalization at the factory I used to work at, for example, caused both productivity and quality to plummet, as "management" could no longer enforce any aspect of the running of the plant. Another example is that Allende tried to "partialize" agriculture by handing out sacks of seeds to small farmers. But many of them just turned around and sold the seeds back to the large tract holders so that they could make spot purchases of consumer goods. 3. You said that with Pinochet, "everything that wasn't bolted down was privatized". In fact, by far the largest economic asset in all of Chile, the Chuquicamata Copper Mine, which had just been nationalized by Allende, WAS NOT RE-PRIVATIZED by Pinochet. He paid an internationally negotiated settlement to the prior owner, but kept it nationalized. 4. You said that the Chicago Boys ushered in "the most extreme free market policies in history". Well, I worked in an industry that had two small competing factories owned by multinationals, one American, one Japanese. These two plants, minuscule by international standards of that industry, were protected by a 28% import duty under Pinochet, or else they would have lasted two minutes. Milton Friedman would have never supported an anti-Free Market government policy like that. 5. You said, "... businesses were given unfettered access to all parts of Chilean life." What does that even mean!? 6. Although there is inequality in Chile, it is one of the least unequal in Latin America thanks to the fact that Pinochet's sixteen year "place holder" rule obviated the economic devastation that Communism would have wrought. But in many respects, Pinochet wasn't just a place holder. For example, under the prior regimes of Allende and Frei, they built closely spaced East Berlin style "Plattenbau" high rises that inevitably became slums within a few years. Because Chile had no shortage of land, Pinochet build streets of small houses for the poor (who could get subsidized loans) on the outskirts of cities. This approach had two advantages: A) by not being strict on zoning, the front room could double as a business by day, and most had some type of business (seamstress, quick mart, etc.) front facing the street; and B) thanks to the subsidized bus system, this allowed the poor to create their own life and still be able to work by day in the homes of the middle class and wealthy; whereas in other Latin American countries, "servants" live in small quarters INSIDE the homes of the wealthy, and thus are always kept down and can never have their own business or build up asset value. 7. The Chicago Boys also initiated a federally administered private pension system that has since been copied the world over. It also created a long term savings or "pension consciousness" among the poor. When I went to hire a maid (as a foreigner, not having one would have been derelict to the poor), no potential maid would even consider not going legit - I had to go wait in line at a government office to obtain her pension voucher book. This is so unlike our "gig" economy here in the U.S., where so many are willing to work without any pension plan whatsoever. 8. Following the bloodshed of the initial period, which was basically a civil war, Pinochet's rule was relatively benign. Despite being a General, Chile's military budget under Pinochet as a % of GDP was quite low - much lower, for example than that of our "democratic" U.S. He never created an ideology or party apparatus or cult of personality or hyper nationalism or extreme reverence for the military as Fascists do. The annual parade where the military marches in German inspired uniforms is no more militaristic than France's Bastille Day parade in Paris. I went to comedy clubs where the comedians roasted Pinochet. There was never a fear that someone from the regime was monitoring. 9 Pinochet never moved to the palace and continued to live with his wife in the same middle class house in the same middle class neighborhood. On either side of his street was a simple wood plank spanning two saw horses and a couple of military police - laughable by the standards of protecting the U.S. President. I visited Guatemala during this same period and the private security and guard houses on an equivalent street was much more extensive that what Pinochet had. 10. They said he embezzled a few million dollars over sixteen years - the worst estimate came out to a few hundred thousand dollars per year, a joke really, when you're enjoying absolute power. Compare that to our recent governor of Florida, Rick Scott, who took away $60 million from the company he chaired, which was convicted of steeling hundreds of millions in Medicare fraud (and he's now a senator!). If Pinochet had just taken a small % of the revenue from Chuquicamata alone, he could have amassed a fortune, like the Saudi Monarchy does with Aramco. 11. Despite military rule, there was no culture of corruption in Chile. I was stopped for speeding and various other traffic violations while there and my interactions with the police were always respectful and on the up and up. By contrast, I easily bribed my way out of similar situations - at the behest of the police officers themselves - in Brazil during its military rule. I was also a salesman to the Chilean military and met with low level purchasers on bases, -Captains and such. It was super easy to get onto a base, even to cold call; and if you found yourself lost and in the wrong part of the base, they helpfully pointed you in the right direction. By contrast, if you've ever been on an American military base, you'd think we're at war, and any violation could get you frog-marched off the base. 12. Pinochet readily accepted the mediation of the Pope in its dispute with Argentina over Tierra del Fuego, and Pinochet was ready to cede land to Bolivia so that it could again have access to the sea - which was blocked by democratic Peru (who would have ceded an equal strip of land). What Fascist does those things? 13. I attended various demonstrations against Pinochet out of curiosity and in the worst cases, there was tear gas and water canon - certainly no worse than what you see at demonstrations in France (les Gilets Jaunes) today. And keep in mind that when I was there, communists were still blowing up electricity towers feeding Santiago. Also, to put things into perspective, Pinochet mainly exiled opponents (like Patricio Aylwin). Thus on a per capita basis, using Amnesty Intl's own numbers, three times as many died under Argentina's Military than under Pinochet in Chile. And lastly, you said that after the plebiscite, "The Generals they knew something that Pinochet didn't. They knew that the U.S. was already piling on the pressure". I was there during this time and it was well known that the U.S. was supporting and even funding the opposition. Statements by the U.S. Ambassador to that affect appeared frequently in local newspapers and there was quite a bit of overt tension between him and the Chilean Government. To say that Pinochet was unaware of this is ludicrous. And you imply that he dickered before accepting the result when your own video shows that he went on T.V. within hours declaring his acceptance. Throughout your video is this notion of ridicule at the fact that Pinochet had some sort of lack of ambition and thin resumé throughout his life - but that's precisely the point - an ordinary man who had to take decisive action in extraordinary circumstances. And just as an aside, I knew someone who rented Patricio Aylwin's beach house one summer. Since my friend was also an American (and we're not used to servants), the "socialist" and future president Aylwin was worried he might tip the servants. So he told my friend in no uncertain terms not to tip them because that would spoil them!

One of the few world leaders to stand by Pinochet was Britain’s former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who visited him in London when he was under house arrest while fighting extradition to Spain, where charges of human rights violations had been brought against him. The House of Lords later threw out almost all of the charges made against Pinochet. Thatcher remained always appreciative of Pinochet’s support for Britain during its 1992 Falkland’s War against Argentina. During that visit, Thatcher told Pinochet: I’m … very much aware that it is you who brought democracy to Chile, you set up a constitution suitable for democracy, you put it into effect, elections were held, and then, in accordance with the result, you stepped down.”

The British government is the best, or should I say shameless, in telling black propaganda and lies.

While I wholeheartedly believe and trust the information given in this video, my aunt, mother, and the majority of my family on both sides (mother and father) were alive during Allende’s tenure and Pinochet’s regime. I often feel conflicted to believe any information given to me from the internet, history books and my family. Reason being, they often contradict each other. I’d love it if people could add their thoughts to this because it truly has conflicted me. Whenever I bring up my distaste for Pinochet and provide my family with reputable information and statistics, my family 9 times out of 10 will tell me I’m 100% wrong. They often cite the fact that they were alive, conscious and well throughout these years. And fair! However this could be a misinterpretation by them due to censorship (which none of them admit that there was any) Interestingly enough, while they seem to defend Pinochet at first glance, the ones I am close with all reject his and allendes policies and actions. But are very weary to call Pinochet a dictator at all. This is very confusing to me as in the years that followed, as stated in the video Pinochet was condemned internationally. Many members cite their unwillingness to call Pinochet a dictator at all because of the following reasons but are not limited to: Allende was known for actually taking peoples property, money and businesses and giving it to the government. My mother and her family were actually left homeless because of this (other family took them in off the streets) People’s businesses were shut down and during allendes tenure families were limited to very few food, gas and oil rations. (While I have seen that also be the case during Pinochet’s dictatorship) Because Pinochet re-established the economy, he built houses for the less fortunate These are some reasons why at least in my experience, I have seen people have more of a distaste for Allende rather then Pinochet Please let me know your thoughts! PS personally, I believe Pinochet should have been imprisoned from the get go

It's important to note two factors that made Allende's presidency a lot worse. 1. The US was heavily invested in making Allende a failure, most notably pushing a truckers' strike to cripple the economy. 2. The majority of Chile's export money came from copper, and international copper prices dropped by something like 30% during Allende's tenure, leading to a general lack of supply in Chile's economy. It's the same thing that happened to Venezuela in the 2010s, and is similar to the supply shock in the US and UK during the 1970s oil crisis. Allende seizing large farms, nationalizing copper production, and increasing spending was objectively harmful, but I don't think any president was going to look good during this kind of supply shock. Also, I'm sure Chileans' views on Pinochet restoring the economy were largely affected by which side of the economy they were on. Being an upper middle class person in a rich country is great. Being a poor person in a rich country is often not. The US has a nominally great economy, yet we also have a homelessness crisis, thousands of people dying every year due to a lack of affordable healthcare, and multiple generations of young adults who are too poor to buy homes or have children at the same rate previous generations did. The fact that 56% of people in that "great" Chilean economy chose to kick Pinochet out speaks volumes.

Good overview of Pinochet and Allende and recent Chilean history. One quibble: most reliable sources I am familiar with place the number of people killed or disappeared under the Condor Plan to be less than 1,000. In the video it says 60,000. I don't know where the Biographics team got that number. In the book "Los Años del Cóndor" by John Dinges, a respected journalist, the number of people killed or disappeared by Condor is put at 654.

You omitted one big thing about the 1988 referendum, Pinochet was so certain he was going to win that he actually let the remaining left-wing figures go on TV to speak for the 'No' side in a political debate. Ricardo Lagos represented Pinochets opponents in that debate and spent several minutes absolutely dominating the discussion and ripping Pinochet apart on his crimes. Watching it Pinochet was said to be 'climbing the walls' in rage but Lagos had become the figurehead of the opposition and he knew he couldn't disappear him without inciting mass riots

Because he was

My dad lived through these events and emigrated into Australia with his mum and 4 siblings at the time. Pinochet is the reason why I've never met my grandpa. My grandma is half mapuche and half atacama, but was sent to retiro, one of those country towns the caravan of death drove through (retiro is also a place where the government forced indigenous people into). In 1978, Pinochet's forces kidnapped my dad, his brother and two of his sisters, his dad and my dad's grandpa. They forced my 10 year old father to watch his grandfather be hung, his sisters be raped and killed and his brother shot. He and his dad went through weeks of torture after that, and then were kicked out on the streets of Santiago. After being thrown around they survived miraculously in the warzone that was the streets of santiago at the time, hopped on the back of a truck going south and arrived in Retiro where they found my grandma, and started the immigration process to Australia. Something many latin americans might relate to this, but the generational trauma passed down to me and my siblings in australia has been awful. My grandma was very against white people, especially french people, when she moved to australia, and got really mad at my dad for marrying my mum (my mum is anglo australian). The things my grandma has told me sticks with me. Things like "White people can always turn on you". Honestly, I think it's the reason why I don't surround myself with white people commonly, unless its my family (obviously). I tear up whenever my dad tells me the stories. As a kid, I'd find my dad crying holding pictures of his siblings and grandparents and ask what was wrong but to think of the struggles he went through to get to where we are makes me so proud to be his child. Also how powerful my grandma is, which doesn't relate to this (she was taken from her family when she was 17 to try to "fit in with white people" because she is lightskin). She went through weeks of wondering if her family was killed. Whenever I've gone back to Chile my dad brings up things he went through in specific areas, my favourite and hardest hitting story of his being when he arrived at Cerro Santa Lucia in santiago, where he felt at peace for the first time in months. Unfortunately though, my dad's dad died of a heart attack at only 44, while still in his mother-in-laws house in Retiro. My dad has said this is because "A piece of his heart was ripped out in those weeks", referring to him watching three of his eight children murdered, as well as his father. That's my relation to Pinochet, and my thoughts. have a great day/night

I'm so sorry for your family's pain and all they had to go trough. The wounds this f*cking monster (and his wife, who was probably as bad or worse) left in Chilean society are still bleeding. I don't remember if it was last year or the year before that, but I heard my father for the very first time, referring to what my grandad had to go through as torture, even being rushed to the hospital to stabilise him, and then back to prison for more torture. Before that I knew he had lived in exile, and kind of deduced he had been tortured, as he was arrested for being leftist, but it was never truly said out loud. My grandad was "lucky", as he survived and went into exile. It freaking sucks that so many Chileans today are still denying everything, or worse, they recognize it, and still worship that m*therf*cker Pinochet as a savior of the country. Monsters all of them.

I find nothing ironic about Pinochet friendship with Thatcher at all. To me, it makes perfect sense.

False equivalence. Genghis Khan warred against other nations. He didn't acknowledged nor followed the customs around war and tactics, but then again the Mongols were a semi-nomadic peoples and therefore their approach was radically different. Consider the circumstances and the era; not excusing the man, but offering a quick explanation. Augusto Pinochet, on the other hand, was not warring against foreign invaders, nor launching an assault on an enemy- it is the lowest of the low who dare point a weapon at their own citizens, those they are sworn to protect and aid. Regardless of their political convictions, religious beliefs, stance on race or any other issue, remember, they're civilians. This man forgot not only where he came from, but also betrayed the very hegemonic groups that supported and aided him to power (he even threatened the Chilean elite, and made the Christian Democratic party follow his lead, culminating in his "biting" of the CIA's hand to access and use resources to carry out his orders).

Simon, you seem to know little or nothing about the REAL situation in Chile in the run-up to the military coup. The country was flat broke, exactly as Venezuela is today. Allende was governing by Presidential decree - in other words he was issuing new laws (decrees) without Parliamentary approval. As a result, the Chilean Parliament declared his regime unconstitutional; the Supreme Court did likewise, and the Contralor General de la Republica (a sort of Attorney General) declared his legislation broke the Constitution. He was NOT a democrat! Allende brought sympathetic military commanders into his Cabinet in order to control (and ultimately subvert) the military. Too late, he discovered Pinochet was not a stooge. The real betrayer of Chile was Allende; Pinochet acted in the interests of his country and is the only dictator - to my knowledge - that has returned a nation to democratic government through the electoral process.

Now that doesnt sort of fit the narrative does it? -Yes, there is high inequality in Chile, but he fails to mention that Chile changed from being the third country with most poverty in Latin America to the one with the least poverty. And the inequality is not much different to that in the USA. -The video forgets to mention the level of violence that was present in Chile due to the marxist goverment doing nothing to stop, and in fact openly promoting, killing the men, stealing and raping the women of the middle class.
